There are no words in the English language to exlain how much I enjoyed this. I love how Simon goes from doing what it takes to protect River, to realizing he had other motives, too. I love Mal's mean sense of humour, but that he is, of course, honorable enough to come clean before anything happens. Your Jayne's fantastic and very Jayne-like, your character voices are really great and that smut nearly killed me, so early in the morning *g*.
Mal gives him a stern look. "No complications."
"Of course not," Simon says neutrally.
He has one hand on the rungs of the ladder when the captain calls after him, "Not that we shouldn't put the spare time we've got on our hands to good use on occasion."
Simon smiles back over his shoulder. "Naturally."
I especially loved this. It's so perfectly aloof and still full of mutual understanding that it fits them to a tee.
I could go on, but I'd just be gushing ;). Rest assured that I love this!
